• Politics: Francisco Igea launches an offensive to change citizens and threatens to present to the primary
  • Renovation Citizens: recover the center without giving truce to Pedro Sánchez

The General Council of Citizens has approved the draft Statutes presented by the direction that gives full power to the leader. And it has done so by overwhelming majority: 105 votes in favor, one against and one abstention. The highest management body of Cs between assemblies is monolithic - it is chosen by closed list in the congress and was proposed by the Secretariat of Organization - and has behaved as such: 98.13% of its members have voted in favor of the model of current match.

The return amendment submitted by a director close to Francisco Igea has been rejected with a similar percentage. They have voted against 93.64% of the directors and have only had five votes in favor (4.54%) and two abstentions (1.82%). Cs today held the General Council that kicks off the internal debate that will lead the party to the general assembly in March. From now on, it will be the groups that will begin to discuss the party model and its future strategy.

The critical advisors requested in their amendment that the bases be the ones that they choose to the regional and provincial directorates - with the project of the Manager directly the National Executive chooses them; that the General Council be elected through open lists, so that it is more plural, and that the management is not the one who designates the Commission of Disciplinary Regime , but that it becomes an independent body, as in other parties.

However, 93% of the general councilors have voted against decentralizing Cs. The spokeswoman for the Manager, Melisa Rodríguez , has applauded these overwhelming figures at the end of the conclave held in Madrid: "The presentation of Statutes comes out with more support than ever."

"Majorities to the Bulgarian"

Fernando Navarro , the counselor who has submitted the return amendment, has lamented the "majorities to the Bulgarian" that occur in Cs precisely because the General Council "emanates directly from the Secretariat of Organization," he explains. And he has assured that he hopes that, from now on, the debate on the bases will present more voices and more plurality to "democratize the party and decentralize it."

The General Council held this Saturday has been tense at times. Navarro has had four minutes to defend his amendment and, when he has finished, the secretary general of Cs, José Manuel Villegas , has said in an audible voice "You also voted the previous Statutes", throwing in his face that they were like those who now They are being discussed, Council sources told EL MUNDO, which was held behind closed doors.

In his subsequent intervention, Navarro has acknowledged that, indeed, he voted them, and added: "I was very wrong and I am sorry, because afterwards it has brought serious consequences for the party."

The General Council has also approved, this time unanimously, the presentation of the Strategy presented by the Manager that claims to return to the "liberal and progressive center" and build bridges to both the PSOE and the PP, moving away from the extremes represented by Vox and We can.
